Mind you that I only have 100Mbps Spectrum internet but I do stream/direct play 4k videos from a Plex media server to several Amazon Firestick 4k devices without issue. Overall IMO you would be hard pressed to find such relatively decent hardware for so cheap; especially a Mesh network.
It wasn't all smooth at first mind you. I kept getting disconnects; especially with the streaming IP cameras. But I discovered by disabling Express Forwarding all my streaming issues went away. (CA>Connectivity>Administration>Express Forwarding)
I'm guessing that Cisco's/Linksys' proprietary Express Forwarding routing protocol was causing havoc with the IP cams streaming capabilities. Also, disabling Node Steering seemed to make things more stable as well; mesh nodes no longer disconnect from the router when Node Steering is disabled. (CA>Wi-Fi Settings>Advanced>Node Steering)
Of course, user experience can vary so feel free to experiment. if the routers are giving you problems, try turning these features off and see if it works
It's not a deal if you never receive it.

Finally, AC1750 was consuming 4 watts and Linksys oscillates between11 & 12 watts. 8 watts more may not be a big thing, but running 24x365 I wasn't interested. Switched back to my old router.
It looks like I am the only one complaining about the performance of this router, so it might be that I got a bad one, so take my response with a grain of salt.
It's a tough pill to swallow. I had spent countless hours troubleshooting my network bc of this companies crappy firmware and lack of support.

Don't have a good feeling about this. 17 Sept ship date at Woot. I expect it to work fine as a standalone properly as everyone claimed!

Anyone upgrade to the current OEM FW?

I plan on doing more with a wireless backhaul, or using bridge mode/access point once I read some more about them.
Does anyone know what my best course of action would be to make sure I have the most optimal setup. My parent node is located on one end of my apartment and one child node would ideally be located in my sunroom which is on the other end. Apt is 800-1000 sq feet and parent node is approximately 60-75 feet away. I figured the third node would be in the middle somewhere. I have been reading about wireless backhauls and bridge mode and access points but I'm still unsure which is the best option for me. No ethernets at all besides near the parent node.
